crossover events can be good

In lieu of an interview today, we’re plugging a most epic work of fanfiction that was floating around the internet again this month after getting re-upped by The New Yorker’s Helen Rosner: No Reservations: Narnia, the Anthony Bourdain x Chronicles of Narnia crossover you didn’t know you so desperately craved in your life.

Besides adding a dose of C.S. Lewis-style whimsy to your day, let this delightful story remind you of the power and closeness afforded by having a truly distinctive voice like Bourdain’s — one that was clearly so fun to parody, and one that remains intimately recognizable even in the most fantastical contexts. He was so good at that, wasn’t he?
